Double check the connectors on your coil packs make sure the main connectors are snug clicked In I'm sure you are only running on 4 cylinders

This isnt Fast and Loud, you cant just start a car idle it and spank it with perfect results... You have to run the car for a while and drive it easily through the rpm range and get it tuned so it may run properly...
If you get it tuned it will run properly...
If you get it tuned it will run properly...

Could be many things, including and not limited to:
-Broken Valve Spring? (Cam change, maybe you have duals in there now)
-A poorly done ECM Calibration
If you can get a scan to see if any misfires have been detected.
Do the usual.. check plugs, wires coils.
Lift valve covers and visually inspect springs.
